Multifaceted construction and infrastructure projects are one of the greatest legal challenges. They involve a multitude of laws, regulations and standards from inception to completion. Clients and contractors, together with their advisors, are constantly working at the interface of technology and law. Construction and infrastructure projects are thus particularly prone to conflict. Smooth-sailing construction projects are rare. And the challenges are often exacerbated by the current polycrisis (supply chain difficulties, pandemic, cost increases, etc.).
The DORDA Construction & Infrastructure Group offers clients a whole package of benefits:
The areas of private construction law (contract law), public construction law and dispute resolution are bundled in this group, which provides interdisciplinary legal advice for complex plant construction, classic building construction, apartment building refurbishment and large infrastructure projects.
